What's supposed to be in here?

Vaibe · 10-24-2014, 12:23 AM

I just bought this Z not too long ago. The owner told me this was done by the previous owner, he wasn't sure about it. There used to be a system down there, two speaker cut outs and I see some wiring.

I'm just wondering, is there something I can put there so the carpet won't fall through? I'm looking into getting a sub and an amp, is there a sub box I can buy that'll fit that hole? Or should I get one custom built? (I've never built a box before so I don't really want to attempt it :\

Here's what I'm talking about:

The big hole where my umbrella and jump cables are.

What????

Ah, sorry guys. My post was moved and I guess it got messed up somehow. Anyway, I'm wondering what this space in my trunk is. One of the previous owners had a system installed here (note the two speaker cut outs) and I'm wondering if I can get a box to fit into there. I'm looking to install a single 10" sub probably. Would I need a custom box? If not, should I get a regular box? Would I need to cover that hole up?

That area was just filled with foam pieces when new. if you want to fit a box inside, you will probably have to go custom. There are pre-made boxes that will sit above that area out there, and cover the holes in the carpet.

You can also do something like this, so you dont take up that much room.. If thats an issue for you

Those are 8's though.. I dont know why he would have put a 6.5" mid right there.. that doesnt seem like it would really do anything.. Especially when he could have made a box just like this one with the 8's.

If I do that, what's the biggest sub size I can go? I'm looking into getting at least 1 10"

Were you able to fit the amp down there as well?

Its a foam piece that holds up the carpet

Nissan should be able to order it for you. Might want to put out a WTB in the for sale section and see if anyone is getting rid of theirs.

With proper box design, you get more air moving on a pair of 8's than a single 10. Why would you not like that?
